Getting Started in Linux with Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications

[ameln3]

I followed the instructions here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/sdk-for-opencl-gsg

I have successfully completed all the steps listed above. When running neon.3 eclipse I have got the following message:

"Cannot get platform list:

Could not load required libraries; please make sure to set the correct path under the Code Builder for OpenCL preference page."

python sys_analyzer -v outputs:

"

I also successfully able to run

ioc64 -input=simpleAdd.cl -asm

What is missing? Do I have to install anything else?

Thank you...
